The English Teacher Chronicles is divided into three "miniseries," each written during a particular year of school. The "miniseries" are subdivided into several short stories. The first, written in the seventh grade, involves an English teacher, who is actually an alien from a distant planet, and her attempts to take over the world. The second, written in the tenth grade, involves an English class's field trip to Iraq going horribly wrong. The third group of short stories, written in the twelfth grade, involves an English class attempting to travel through time to the Renaissance era, but ending up in 1945 Germany. The significance of these short stories is that the characters are all real people- classmates and teachers of the author.
